Dalton Officials Address Sidewalk Repairs

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON,Mass. — Residents and elected officials agree that a majority of the town's sidewalks need repairs but are determining high priority areas. 
 
The town has been discussing sidewalk repairs with residents since before the last town meeting where it was approved to add an additional $10,000 to the sidewalk repair budget.  
 
The town should first focus its repairs on sidewalks near schools to improve student safety and high traffic areas, Select Board members said during its last meeting.
 
Everyone has a different idea of what sidewalks should be addressed first, Chair Joseph Diver said. 
 
"It's kind of starting somewhere and then working our way through that," Diver said. 
 
Highway Superintendent Edward "Bud" Hall has taken that into account a little bit because he considering the schools and high-traffic areas but an official study looking into pedestrian and traffic patterns has not been done. 
 
Over the winter, he plans on generating a list of sidewalks in need of repair and coming up with a plan on how and when they should be addressed.
